The Hamline University baseball team doesn't worry about bad weather affecting the beginning of the season - each year the Pipers open home play at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis. In 2008, Hamline will play 10 games (1/4 of their 40-game schedule) at the "Dome."
The Metrodome opened in 1982 and is the home of the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings. The "Dome" has a 580,000-pound fabric roof and is kept at 65 degrees Fahrenheit during winter events.
The Metrodome is the only stadium in the world to have hosted the NFL Super Bowl (1992), Major League Baseball's All-Star game (1985), two MLB World Series (1987, 1991) and two NCAA Division One Men's Final Four Basketball Championships (1992, 2001).
